Hell even an rx8 is a track star.... Track times vs drag times confirm all this. The Z is supoosed to be a balance of power and finesse and its getting left behind in both segments for equal to or less money. If feel is all your after, nissan with its despicable turbo 4 miata competitor suggestion is heading in the right direction for you
For the rest of us, we want more power, less weight, and a turbo 6.

Well... many of us want a fast car AND good feel AND good handling, hence the Z. Sure there are other cars out there that have all of these, but the Z does these pretty well and you can score one relatively cheap in the used market. That's what stands out about the Z, to me.
- Mustang is fast and handles well (though I don't agree its on par with Z, regular mustang though no track package) but doesn't feel as agile.
- BRZ/Miata feel great in handling but they don't feel fast.
Sure there are bimmers that do all three but they are in a different price range, and you need to shell out lots of $$ for extended warranties. You can't put down $20K like you can on a well specced used Z and have some fun. Forged wheels? Limited slip diff? Count me in!
